y IS THE DAY YOU T
</ £ PAY your DEBTS
£ l l
A : THAT is the day on which you draw the breath of FREEDOM—free¬ £
dom from the gnawing disease of worry which ruins your health, sleepless Boa
r Jr* nights and the awful fear of failure foryour farm or business and misery to
your family.
FREEDOM from the consuming, growing cancer of interest on your
debts— interest, which makes the burden more hopeless day by day.
FREEDOM and JOY! Joy in the satisfaction of having not only re¬
stored your credit, but having made it .stronger; joy in the wonderful feeling -A
of beginning to lav up money to draw interest instead of having to struggle
along under the increasing burden of interest on what you owe.
ABOVE ALL, happiness in the bright smiles of those business con¬
cerns which have been your friends and have carried you through the strug¬
% gle— real happiness in paying them up and showing your appreciation for i
their faith and friendship, thus giving them, too, a chance to find THIS A
FREEDOM. r v
MERELY for you to make a little money will not bring GOOD a KM
TIMES. The thing that will bring GOOD TIMES is for every man to make
... v
every possible effort to wipe out all OLD DEBTS. That gives all of us a fresh (Q55 s>,
start, a brighter vision and a more solid foundation upon which to join hands
in working for our MUTUAL PROSPERITY. mm
THE destiny and fortunes of the people in this community are ONE.
We are linked together in every business, industry, trade and profession. Y
We rise or fall together. We must share in prosperity or adversity, as we shall
A choose. Prosperity he established ABIDING BLESSING if will J'
can as an we
hut put whatever money comes our way to its proper, legitimate purpose.
THE highest purpose of money well earned is to pay our debts.

HOW TO REMEDY
BREAKAGE
By F. C. ILIFF, Engineer
Freight Container Bureau
Reports from the large receiving
markets of Georgia peaches indicate
that shipments are being received in
good condition, but with slight break¬
age. Crates nailed with only eight
nails in the bottom (four each end,
and six nails in the side, three each
end), are showing damage in the form
of loose bottoms and loose sides.
Loose tops are also being reported
due to the use of only three nails in
each end, nails being improperly
driven, and also due to the use of
too large nails for nailing the car
strips to the crates. When eight pen¬
ny nails are used with one inch thick
car strips, the nails penetrate too far
into the head frames of the crates,
and when the strips are loosened at
j unloading points the covers are pull¬
ed loose. When one inch car strips
, are used, a six penny nail is suffi
| cient. Seven penny nails are satisfac¬
tory when 1 1-4 inch strips are used.
This breakage can be remedied by:
j (1) 12 nails in bottom—6 each end
—3 each slat.
| (2) 8 nails in sides—4 each end—•
2 in middle slat.
(3) 8 nails in top—4 each end.
I (4) Driving all nails away from
the mortice and tenon joints.
| (5) Six penny nails for nailing car
strips one inch thick to crates.
| (6) Seven penny nails fo railing inches
ear strips one and one quarter
thick to crates.
NURSES TOLD TO
LET HAG* GROW
Hospitals Put B n on Bobbed
Heads in V/ards.
Ottawa.—Bobbed linlr Is causing *
merry old powwow throughout the
province of Ontario. Student nurse*
of the province are aiding the cause
of shorn locks against those whe
would grow them long.
At practically all the hospital*
throughout the entire province there
Is a regulation to the effect that hair
must not be cut in the prevailing
mode, but that It Is to be kept pri¬
marily In curls such as was worn by
the maidens of the province some
years ago.
But the rule, It has been discovered,
has not always been patiently obeyed.
Nurses at general hospitals and some
others who recently desired to follow
the example of their sisters outside,
tt ere suspended. And now an Incipient
rebellion against what Is considered a
needless restriction imposed by years
upon youth is reported in a number
of Institutions.
The nurses claim that the hospitals
should be glad to have bobbed students
nurses, and that they are sure the pa¬
tients will agree that the removal of
the long tresses goes a long way to
brighten up the wards. Some of th«
students have decided to seek new
Helds of endeavor as the result of that
war waged on the hob. but others say
they will stick to their guns, while
some have gone so far as to securo
legal advice.
Seamen Leave Millions
in Little Harbor Bank
New York.—in this duy of in-a-door
beds, of kitchens swung on the back*
of bathroom doors, or tuhles drawt*
from the walls, we seem to have mas¬
tered the art of concealment. Accus¬
tomed as we ure to these features
of modern life, we are not used to
thinking of big business in small
offices.
Yet down near the harbor In New
York at 25 South street, there Is a
lullUon-dollar hank In a 12 by 10 base¬
ment room with a tiny corridor barely
wide enough for a man to pass
through on his way to the teller’s win¬
dow. To seamen It Is perhaps the
best-known depository in the world.
Its depositors represent sixty-seven
foreign countries, It hears nearly
every known language spoken, and
more than $6,500,000 In seamen’s
wages has come over Its counter in,
the past eleven years.
"I am the crew and the captain,
too, and the mate of the Nancy brig,”
might be said of W. E. Bunce, who
runs this bank at the Seamen’s Church
institute.
“Many of the people who think of
the seaman as the proverbial mossless
stone will have to change their opin¬
ion. During the years 1919-20 the
seamen made here deposits of their
wages of $1,250,000. Last year was
a good year, too. Even though wages
and prices were down, we had more
depositors than ever. We probably
do a bigger business for our cubic
space than any other bank In New
York.
A recent survey showed the aver
inhabitant in Georgia to be $401. In
age assessed value of property per
South Carolina it was $252. Georgia
spent $5.30 per inhabitant on educa¬
tion, South Carolina, $6.48, or $1.18
more than our state.
